What goes with almond milk smoothies? Well almost anything.
Since discovering almond milk I almost never use dairy milk in my smoothies any more. And after some experimentation with different flavors I’ve also discovered that almond milk pretty much goes with any flavour combination. It gives flavour to banana smoothies, and adds a creaminess to berry smoothies.
Almond milk is made by grinding almonds together with water. It was popular in earlier times and was frequently added to recipes in medieval Europe and drunk as a beverage in the Middle East. It’s now enjoying something of a resurgence in popularity as the modern world discovers its health benefits. The advent of modern blenders means it is much easier to make and results in a finer milk. Perfect for adding to smoothies.
When buying almond milk do remember to read the labels and make sure there are no additives or sugar added. Always choose the unsweetened version.
Ingredients
1 frozen banana
4 Medjool dates
½ cup chopped almonds
¾ cup almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make
Peel and chop the banana into chunks and remove the pit from the dates. Throw the banana and dates into a blender jug, then add the chopped almonds, almond milk and vanilla extract. Give the blender a burst on low first to break up the almonds, then turn up to high and blitz until smooth and creamy.
This makes one serve.
